You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife novel Chapter 100

The most important night of Sky Corporation had come. All bosses, employees and VIP guests were all excited to attend. It was the talk of the city as famous celebrities abroad and most influential people in different industries were gathered together in the party.

Today, Arabella was caught in the middle of sadness and happiness. Just this morning, she already sent her resignation letter to the HR Manager and she also put one copy on Bill’s table. After tonight, she would quietly disappear and she would never come back again.

Putting on her makeup, she smiled as she was avoiding herself not to cry. Though all the makeups she used were waterproof, she still didn’t want to be sad at this time. She knew that the sadness in her heart tonight won’t matter anymore after a year or two. So, she didn’t need to cry. She wouldn’t definitely regret her decision.

After glamming up, she looked at her reflection in the mirror. This was her first time to put on heavy makeup and dress like a seductive enchantress. For her, this would also be the last time she would see herself in such a fitted long dress as soon her belly would start to grow big. Might as well make use of her sexy body thoroughly before she grew bigger. She smiled again as she thought of it.

The event was held at the biggest hotel in Capital Z. Different luxurious cars were parked outside and elegant men and women walked gracefully on a red carpet followed by photographers and nosy media. In a huge function room, the party was held.

Arabella didn’t walk on the red carpet instead, she drove down the basement and used the elevator to go up. The program had already started when she arrived outside. She felt hesitant to enter the place because she was already late. Releasing a heavy breath, she gathered her courage to enter the function hall.

A tall girl wearing a red shimmering long dress that captured her curves and butt perfectly with long soft hair dancing behind her, all seemed to stop and drop their jaws. She was a perfect enchantress. Everyone was bewitched by her beauty.

“Who is she?” A man sounded with an impressed tone.

“She’s Arabella Jones from the CEO's office.” A woman replied.

“Wow! She’s…. She’s…. She’s so perfect!” Another man in the group said with great appreciation.

“I never knew that our company had a beauty like that.” Another man muttered in disbelief.

Arabella heard the clamor about her and she felt a little shy. To make her feel relaxed, she got a glass of wine from the waiter’s tray and quietly drank in the corner.

She was like waiting for someone to show up.

It’s Bill.

She didn’t see him for a long time and she was expecting to see him for the last time. She was sure that he would show up tonight as the CEO of Sky Corporation.

Looking at the wide stage, her eyes were waiting to see the man there. Behind the stage was a big screen showing the successful milestones of Sky Corporation. There, she saw the great grandfather of Bill who was the founder of the company. Then Bill’s favorite grandfather and then Ed Sky. The next set of pictures captured her heart. There, the most handsome CEO appeared with his usual domineering and cold look.

Seeing their striking handsome CEO, the crowd roared and clapped their hands. Undeniably, though Bill was cold, his handsomeness hadn’t lessened even a bit. Thus, it made him look noble and dignified. That's why women got more excited.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, let’s welcome our distinguished CEO and our Chairman Emeritus with his beloved wife.” The MC of the party suddenly announced the presence of the most important people in the company.

Arabella was excited to hear the news. She quickly looked at the direction where the spotlight was pointed. There, she saw Bill pushing the wheelchair of his dad with a very stunning night demeanor. They came from the side of the stage and Bill pushed his father in front. Ed was smiling happily and though he was sitting in a wheelchair, his elegance and powerful aura were still screaming.

After Ed had been given the chance to give his speech and thank his people, Bill got the mic and also delivered his motivational and powerful speech. He was then awarded as the most influential and successful businessman in Capital Z.

After the two had accomplished their functions on the stage, every VIPs congratulated them.

Arabella looked at Bill for the last time. All his expressions and actions were carved into her heart.

How could she forget this man?

He’s the first man who got her virginity.

Only this man could make her want for more.

Then some memories with him flashed across her mind. The night where they shared their first kiss. It was like magic. Then the first night they spent together in his car. Then all the bickering, they had. Their wedding on the island. The night in the yacht. The night when he got sick. The night when they were all wet in the pool and witnessed the magnificent fireworks. The passionate night in her tent. And the last one, when she and Bill spent an unforgettable weekend together.

Her heart clenched tight thinking of some memories with him. She heaved heavily then sipped her wine to let go of the uneasiness in her heart.

“Well, well, well, you made it.” A vicious voice of a woman sounded beside her that made Arabella regain her senses.

Trishia Meyer.

She was wearing a white fitted mermaid cut gown. It had a deep V neck in front and back that exposed her big cleavage and naked behind.

“Of course, I am an employee of the company.” Arabella replied confidently.

“Okay. Enjoy the night. I hope you will enjoy tonight’s show.” Trishia provokingly laughed at her and gracefully moved forward passed by her.

The party had just started. Arabella had already accomplished her purpose for coming. So, she wanted to leave but someone blocked her way.

It’s Jayson Hansen.

And he’s invited.

“Leaving so soon?” Jayson smiled at her like he saw an angel from heaven.

“Yes.” Arabella smiled at him back. Seeing Jayson around was a plus for her. Though they had a bitter past, he still had a place in her heart as her savior and a good friend.

“Oh, please, no. If you leave now, this party would be uninteresting without a beauty like you.” Jayson jokingly said, but deep inside, it was all true.

Arabella laughed at his joke.

“Ladies and Gents, let us welcome again the Sky Family. Mrs. Sky had an announcement to make.” The MC voice resonated in the room and everyone stopped and kept silent.

Kelly stepped forward with the mic and Bill and his father were behind her.

“Everyone, this party was very important to all of us. Thank you for all the support and hard work you exerted to achieve the ultimate success for our company. Cheers for that!” Kelly elegantly smiled and raised her glass in the air.

“This party is also very important to our family as we welcome and announce to you all an additional member of our family.” Kelly added vigorously.

Arabella and Jayson were listening to Kelly’s announcement. Kelly seemed to drop the bomb at any moment. Jayson’s smile disappeared in an instant.

“Everyone, please welcome our new family member, your CEO’s lovely wife, Ms. Arabella Jones. Arabella? Please come up here on stage.” Kelly instructed someone to check on Arabella’s location. Kelly wanted to surprise and welcome Arabella wholeheartedly.

Earlier, she called up Arabella to be with them on the stage but she begged off. Kelly didn’t pressure her as Arabella was just thinking of Bill. She seemed not so confident with her position as Bill’s wife. Kelly then made a plan. Then he asked Bill’s permission if they could expose Arabella as his wife to the public. Bill’s voice on the phone was as usual but he didn’t refuse and that was Kelly’s go signal.

The spotlight was quickly pointed to Arabella. She was suddenly stunned by the beaming light, but she managed to put up a fake smile. She saw Jayson had entered the spotlight. Seeing her and Jayson’s on her side rose to a clamor.

Just when she was about to step forward, she heard her voice on the big screen in front of everyone. Hearing something was showing, all eyes landed on the big screen.

“I am pregnant.” Arabella spoke on the video.

“Who's the father?” A woman’s voice sounded but her figure wasn’t captured in the video.

“Jayson Hansen.” Arabella answered.

“Do you love Bill Sky?” The unknown woman asked her again.

“I never did love him.” Arabella answered directly.

Her face was clearly seen in the video, but the other woman had no identity. It’s only her voice.

Arabella was dumbfounded.

It’s Trishia’s scheme.

It was the scene in the restroom 2 days ago. She managed to video her and edit the video. Everything in the video was not true, except that she was pregnant.

After the video, pictures with Arabella and Jayson flooded the big screen.

There’s one with her and Jayson entered in a hotel and got out in the morning with the same clothes and room number.

There’s one where they tenderly hugged each other outside the room of Jayson.

There’s one at the park where Jayson held her face tenderly.

It seemed that the paparazzi who followed them were very professional and that their positions in the pictures were very intimate. Not to mention, that the paparazzi was very workaholic that he caught Jayson and Arabella in different places.

The video ended abruptly when someone forcefully turned off the projector.

An uproar from the crowd was heard. Though the presentation ended soon, the crowd had seen enough.

“It’s not true.” Shaking her head, Arabella defended herself, but her voice was covered by the loud clamor of people.

Kelly stood in front and felt like a fool. It was her idea to introduce Arabella, but it caused shame to her family. She shivered in anger. No one caused them such embarrassment like this, only Arabella. On such an important occasion of their company, Arabella made her family a laughing stock. She clenched her fists as if she wanted to eat Arabella alive.

Bill stood up there unmoving, but with his usual powerful demeanor. His dark eyes were with the girl in the center of the spotlight and beside her was Jayson Hansen.

They really came together.

No one could tell what he’s thinking, but his stare was possessing great tribulation.

“Bill your father!” Kelly shouted on stage.

Hearing her mom, Bill was alerted. He looked at his father in a wheelchair who had difficulty breathing.

“Dad! Stay with us! Dad!” Bill said while pushing his wheelchair out of the stage.

The commotion on the stage made the crowd gossip for more. They were pointing their fingers to Arabella who ruined everything. The well-respected family was put to shame because of Arabella. Now, their Chairman Emeritus was fighting for his life because of her too.

She was a curse.

“I am not … It’s not true.” She kept on defending herself, but the crowd only believed what they saw. No one wanted to hear her.

All of a sudden, someone splashed Arabella with wine. Then another one splashed her with water.

Arabella startled with the sudden attacks, but she was more shocked by the sudden turn of events. She never expected it to happen tonight. She only came here to see Bill for the last time, but it turned out Trishia had plotted everything for her.

“Arabella let’s get out of here.” Jayson shielded her as he dragged her out.

The crowd was enraged and they were blaming Arabella. It seemed chaos would start soon and she would be in danger if she would not get out of the party immediately.

She had no choice but she had to follow Jayson or else she would greatly suffer.

“Jayson, I want to go to the hospital.” Arabella said, crying. Ed and Kelly were very good at her. She couldn’t leave without apologizing to them and knowing the real situation of Bill’s father.

Without no hesitation, Jayson drove her to the nearest hospital. Arabella quickly ran to the emergency room, followed by Jayson.

She saw Kelly was crying in the corner and Bill was nowhere to be found.

“Mom. I’m sorry.” Arabella cried.

Kelly quickly stood up and slapped Arabella.

“You! Get out of my sight and never make me see you again! You brought shame to this family” Kelly shouted angrily while her eyes were bursting.

Arabella kneeled down and cried for forgiveness.

“If anything would happen to my husband, I will never forget you until I die. You are a curse to our family. From this day, you and your family had no longer connected to us. I am cutting the ties between us. Now get lost!” Kelly shouted indignantly.
